Rules

Be civil.

Do not post or request the posting ofany personal information. This includes personal information in screenshots or any other media. You are responsible for checking content that is not originally yours.

Content should be first party accounts of events on reddit or exact mirrors thereof. This means links to third party sites, blogs, or corporate news outlets are not on topic. If you have to connect the dots to see the relation, even if it mentions reddit, it doesn't belong here. If there is such content you strongly feel should be shared with voat there is probably a better subverse it should go in.

Content calling for any action on reddit is not allowed.

Content "pitchforking" or "witchhunting" or calling for action against another voat user is not allowed. If this is a legitimate concern, there is probably a better subverse it should go in.

Recommendations

Avoid linking directly to reddit if you can. An archived page or screenshots from your favorite image hosting site are fine. Note that direct links do not break any rules.

It's obvious she is a diversity hire. She was hired strictly because it is a public facing position and she is black and female. This is exactly why she can't be fired. If they fire a black female for something as trivial as not being able to type out questions correctly she will 100% turn around and due them for discrimination. The funniest part about it is she would probably win so they will have to pay her out the ass to settle. Alexis survived the whole Ellen Pao fiasco, then they bring back spez as president, and bring in Marty as CTO. All three are white males. Meanwhile, Ellen Pao gets forced out and Victoria gets fired. This makes 808sandhotcakes untouchable. They've painted themselves into a corner and I doubt any celebrities are going to be signing up for her to run their AMA's given how badly she fucked up Murray's.

Then again, this could all be according to their plan. The celebrities wouldn't want to miss out on the massive advertising of Reddit so they will probably just have their own PR firms conduct their AMA's, which is really what Reddit wants as the PR firms would likely continue to maintain the celebrities' account to comment on threads, keeping the celebrity "involved in the community".

Come on. President Obama is not an idiot. Maybe he didn't do the best job in the world, but he is an intelligent person. He was not picked based on the color of his skin. Remember: the choices back then were Obama and a racist, pro-war, senior citizen.

But wouldn't you feel bad knowing you didn't do your best and didn't deserve to get the job, while taking the job from someone more qualified? Maybe I am just old school and want to be proud of my work.

We also have an example from Marvel's Agents of Shield. One of the male main characters was mind controlled and raped by a beautiful Asgardian woman. None of the other main characters later asked him if he was ok. Very different from how rape has been portrayed by Joss Whedon on his other shows when women were the victims.

I haven't ventured back to reddit in some time now, and had no idea Bill Murray had done another AMA.

That's rough stuff right there. This chick doesn't know how to do this job, that much is blindingly obvious. Combined with the dramatic bullshit from yesterday where she spewed massive loads of word salad at /videos/ mods ... ugh, this has "uneducated, confrontational black chick" written all over it. Two snaps and an around the world, mmm-hmm.

Yeah, 5 years as a user, 3 as a sub, a christmas gift exchange, no history of any discipline (other than banned from offmychest but that doesn't count). I'm obviously a horrible spammer cause I downvoted the admin who did a crap job.

They have all these sneaky fucking tools to ban you on reddit. They're like the NSA stuck in their own universe. You can get banned for almost anything. Doesn't need to be reasonable. But I sort of helped myself on reddit by giving myself an insulting name. If they ban me it goes on a list, and they have to stare at my name. At least for a while.

There are some alcoves of sanity. I participate in a subreddit for a particular game and there's no drama. Whenever there's even something in the game that could be made political (like Pride) they make a separate thread to contain any stupidity.

So it is entirely possible that some people on Reddit are not really aware of all the shit that's going on, not because their head is so deep in the sand they can see the other side of the planet, but because they just don't venture out that one community that brought them to the website.

I came here, then went back to Reddit thinking nothing would change. Over the past few months Reddit has just got so bad now. You have to be exactly in line with what is politically correct on Reddit at the time. Reddit is depressing me now so much that I've decided to leave and not even look at it anymore. I hope it dies a Fiery death like Digg for major changes.

I agree it is a key component of her job. I meant the actual task is trivial. In the grand scheme of job duties, translating someone's speech into text without making them sound drunk/retarded and utilizing the basic syntax of Reddit formatting is a trivial task.
